If you want to just generally speak about the appeal of Heidi, I can tell you that for me, it's SI 98. I had never heard of Heidi before then, but when I opened that magazine I was just spellbound. Besides having what I would consider to be a wonderful face, she's got the best body I've ever seen on a "supermodel", complete with curves and all. I've seen a lot of video of her too, and as far as I can tell, she's a very nice person- extremely friendly, bubbly, and playful.
For me, Natalie Portman just doesn't exude the same type of glow. Sure, Natalie Portman is indeniably pretty, and she is a very good actress as well (probably much more intelligent than Heidi), but I don't find her nearly as attractive. For one thing, she looks young (as in _underage_ young) and physically underdeveloped. Natalie Portman still has that "girl" thing going, rather than looking like a grown woman. Heidi just plain blows Natalie out of the water when it comes to body and sex appeal.
A "typical cold, arrogant 'supermodel'"? I don't think anything could be further from the truth. I would dare to say that Heidi is the kindest and most approachable model in the industry. Watching the last 2 years' SI video specials should prove this, along with appearances on talk shows.
